    Intentional:
    %%%
         delete Another name for the -alias parameter.
    %%%

    Basically, delete or alias without an argument will remove the address(es)
    configured on the interface for the default address family (almost
    always inet, i.e. IPv4). This is something I've used for years, but
    I have always taken it to mean 'the very last address configured'.
